Not great, not terrible

Delicious

Summer is officially here, and you know what that means? It's time to chow down on a hot dog at a 4th of July barbeque. Every American city has a very different idea of what a hot dog should be. I'm mostly talking about New York and Chicago because those cities will let you know when you're eating a hot dog wrong. Chicago citizens, particularly, hate it when you put ketchup on your hot dog. They see it as an insult to their city, culture, and way of life. There is a terrifying statue of a menac…

Nasty

Everybody has had a bad roommate; if you haven't, you're probably the bad roommate. It is not that hard to clean up after yourself, communicate, and be considerate of the people you live with, yet many people struggle with it. I've heard so many roommate horror stories through the grapevine that are almost hard to believe. Somebody I know lived with someone who peed in the kitchen sink, and she walked in on him doing it. If you are wondering, yes, there were dishes in the sink. I have also hear…

Don't take that shot!

'A Chinese' ≠ Chinese food

Nobody can like every food. Even if you pride yourself on not being picky, you probably have at least one food, even a popular food, that you don't like. For me, it's French Onion Soup. As someone who likes onions, soup, and cheesy bread, you'd think I'd enjoy this meal, but I don't. I don't like that there's a bunch of bread in my soup, and I don't like that I have to break through it to get to the soup part. I'm so sorry French people , but I must speak my truth. This stuff is nasty, and I'm…

Not that kind

Food is a powerful thing. It nourishes us, brings us together as family and friends, and sometimes even inspires us. Food is often treated as art, and chefs are treated like artists. Food also has the power to make us happy , whether it's a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich while hungover, or a big spoonful of ice cream when you've had an especially oppressive day. Lately, however, we've been marveling at the way food can also make us angry. In fact, it can make us straight-up furious. It's true…

As a food lover, I'm well aware that taste is usually more important than the “look” of a dish. There are plenty of foods that look a lot less appetizing they actually are. The split pea soup I made a couple of days ago, for example, looks like a trough of chunky, yet pasty vomit. Hot dogs don't really look all that hot, and lord knows I've seen more than a few chilis that resemble loose stools rather than a flavorful, pepper-filled dish. The thing is, some people seem to go out of their way to…
